we were promoting math and science to catch up with the world. sound familiar, madam president? also though, our president wanted to do more. he went to rice university and during that speech he rallied the nation. why as part of his vision of the new frontier why we should travel into space. on that day he said we choose to go to the moon, and we choose to go to the moon in this decade and to do other things not because they are easy, but because they are hard. and because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and our skills. and that's how in a robust way we took a nascent space program and transformed it into a space super power. it literally took us to the frontier of space and took us to a new frontier. for those 50 years, america continued to lead the way in space and to keep space a peaceful area, not to militarize space, not to colonize it for a single country, but to explore. and along the way exploring the universe to get to a science and technology that would help transform our lives here. america continues to lead the way in space, and
